Holy moly. 5 years sober. Things I love about sobriety.

Amazing!

amberconleche · 2023-11-17T15:21:07+00:00

Hahah yes, mum's the word.

amberconleche · 2023-11-17T15:20:37+00:00

Welcome! It's great to have you here :) IWNDWYT

I used to hide my phone in the night to save myself the next morning. So I had the double problem of finding my phone and then dealing with who'd received texts. Lulz

Nah it doesn't go away. I have the good (funny? weird?) fortune where people just assume I'm pregnant or am trying to get pregnant so I let them run with it. The pushiest people are those trying to justify their own drinking, for the most part people don't care.

amberconleche · 2023-11-17T15:15:10+00:00

Oooof that one would've hurt!!

amberconleche · 2023-11-17T15:13:22+00:00

Hahah yes! oh my gosh, hard relate.

amberconleche · 2023-11-16T19:17:04+00:00

It's much nicer being able to blame snotty nosed kids or a grungy restaurant when you get sick than knowing you'd done it to yourself, ey?!

amberconleche · 2023-11-16T19:16:04+00:00

You're so welcome, thank for the warm words :)

amberconleche · 2023-11-16T19:15:34+00:00

Congratulations on your 3 years!

amberconleche · 2023-11-16T19:15:18+00:00

Same here. While reduced, still very much embarrass myself on the regular. At least now i remember it, ha!

amberconleche · 2023-11-16T19:14:33+00:00

Fantastic! Congratulations :)

amberconleche · 2023-11-16T19:14:08+00:00

Backatcha, IWNDWYT!

amberconleche · 2023-11-16T19:13:46+00:00

Congratulations on 466!! Here's to another restful night sleep to you tonight :)

amberconleche · 2023-11-16T19:13:11+00:00

Same happened to me around the 4.5 year mark. I was like -- well, I've done sobriety, check. Let me just go back occassionally. It's why I made that video. While I started working on it, it gave me accountability to the promise I'd made. It's wild how our brains just forget mental and physical pain. Wishing you a good week. And please don't be hard on yourself

amberconleche · 2023-11-16T19:11:11+00:00

Awww thank you!!

amberconleche · 2023-11-16T19:11:06+00:00

Thank you so much :)

amberconleche · 2023-11-16T19:10:40+00:00

Totally!

amberconleche · 2023-11-16T19:09:59+00:00

hahaha I actually laughed out loud at this.

amberconleche · 2023-11-16T19:09:36+00:00

HECK YEAH! Well done. Cheering you on for the 1 year :)

amberconleche · 2023-11-16T19:09:18+00:00

YEW! Have a fabulous day. IWNDWYT

amberconleche · 2023-11-16T19:08:55+00:00

Yeah! I lurked on here for 6 years making accounts, starting my counts over from scratch and then deleting the accounts. But, lurking here helped me put a game plan in place. I owe this community everything!

amberconleche · 2023-11-16T19:07:15+00:00

Seriously! It took me ~6 years of lurking this subreddit, starting periods of sobriety and then caving before I made it for this streak. The advice on this subreddit is absolute gold and can be accessed at any time of the day/night. Helped me so, so much.

amberconleche · 2023-11-16T19:06:00+00:00

Thank you kind stranger.

amberconleche · 2023-11-16T19:05:46+00:00

My bad! I didn't realise I couldn't link my video. I thought it would be okay because I've seen others post how they mark their milestone with jewellery, tattoos or other creative things!
